Endometriosis: The Silent Cause of Severe Period Pain
Expert Guidance by Dr. Ankur Bhanushali – General & Laparoscopic Surgeon in Thane
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It is one of the most underdiagnosed causes of severe period pain, infertility, and chronic pelvic discomfort in women. Many women suffer silently for years before getting the right diagnosis.
This blog helps you understand symptoms, diagnosis, and modern treatment options available in Thane.
⭐ What Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows on areas such as:
- Ovaries
- Fallopian tubes
- Pelvic walls
- Bowels or bladder
- Behind the uterus
This tissue behaves like normal uterine lining—thickens, breaks down, and bleeds—causing inflammation and pain.
⭐ Common Symptoms of Endometriosis
Symptoms vary from mild to severe. Key signs include:
- Severe period pain (dysmenorrhea)
- Pain during intercourse
- Pelvic pain before or after periods
- Painful bowel movements
- Lower back pain
- Heavy or irregular periods
- Infertility in some women
- Bloating, nausea, or fatigue
If period pain interferes with daily activities, it may be more than “normal pain.”
⭐ Causes & Risk Factors
While the exact cause is unknown, factors linked to endometriosis include:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Family history
- Immune system dysfunction
- Retrograde menstruation
- Early onset of menstruation
- Delayed pregnancy
- Pelvic infections
⭐ How Endometriosis Is Diagnosed
Diagnosis may include:
- Pelvic examination
- Ultrasound (helps detect cysts like endometriomas)
- MRI (detailed mapping for surgery)
- Laparoscopy (gold standard for diagnosis & treatment)
Early diagnosis prevents complications like infertility and chronic pain.
⭐ Treatment Options for Endometriosis
Treatment depends on severity, symptoms, and whether future pregnancy is planned.
1. Medications
- Pain relievers
- Hormonal therapies
- Oral contraceptives
- Progesterone-based medications
These help reduce symptoms but do not remove endometrial tissue.
2. Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery (Preferred)
Laparoscopy is the most effective treatment for moderate to severe endometriosis.
Benefits:
- Tiny cuts
- Removes abnormal tissue precisely
- Reduces pain significantly
- Improves fertility
- Faster recovery
- Minimal blood loss
3. Endometrioma (Chocolate Cyst) Removal
Laparoscopic cyst removal is recommended for ovarian endometriosis.
4. Advanced Treatment for Fertility
Women planning pregnancy may need:
- Ovarian reserve evaluation
- Laparoscopic excision
- Fertility specialist referral when needed
⭐ Lifestyle Tips to Manage Endometriosis
- Anti-inflammatory diet
- Regular exercise
- Heat therapy during periods
- Adequate sleep
- Stress reduction
- Avoiding processed or high-sugar foods
These habits help reduce flare-ups.
